@AlexBuchanan4 @RBairner Is a shy a western/southern Scottish thing? I'd never heard it until fairly recently!

@mershdoes Hang it in the... Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

@hampdenroarpod Listened just before going out for a run. Got the adrenaline pumping again, never run so fast in my life. Cheers boys 👍🏼

Next Olympics should be fun.

@mershdoes @OfficialWoSFL @EastScotlandFA @ScottishHFL @OfficialSLFL I'm "of Scotland" but not sure I count? 🤣

@FutbologyApp Hello! Could you follow me so I can send you a DM? I have a question about my account. Thanks!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@outsidewrite @andrewgillan I'm ashamedly not as in the loop as much as I once was, although from what I have read, Andrew has you covered for Madrid, @hyllnd! Unfortunately not a great time for live football here at the moment. Shame about the fixture clash, would've been ideal! Have a great time!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

Don't often get a chance to write about @ScotlandNT at work, so couldn't resist jumping on this one.

Unless my calculations have gone haywire, a draw could be enough to get through... Let's not have it come down to that, though, eh lads?

Scotland can make history against Hungary at Euro 2024 on Sunday. And there are a couple of ways they can do it.

Belgium vs Romania feels both very USA 94 and Euro 2000 to me, even though they didn't play each other at either tournament.

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@andrewgillan Yeh, I may be in the minority in thinking he's underachieved considering the players he's had and the competition hasn't been that strong in the last few tournaments. Just feels very less-than-the-sum-of-its-parts-y after pretty much every game.

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

Said it 100 times before and I'll say it again. Deschamps is killing that French team, totally underperforming and underachieving, even including a World Cup.

Away to stick plasters over my eyes!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@FootballCliches Similarly, I've also heard/read "the group stages" a lot (Southgate said it the other day). Only one group stage!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

If only Euro 2024 had actually been Euro 2023.

W12, D3, L3 in 18 games (12 clean sheets) for Scotland up until 14 June last year (W3 in a row after then too).

1W (v Gibraltar, the only clean sheet), D3, L5 and a raft of injuries up until 14 June this year.

Can't make it up.

🚨 BREAKING Scotland captain Andy Robertson and striker Lawrence Shankland forced off during training in Germany.

All the details 🔽

@AlexisOBrien48 Surely an Arsenal fan can't be hanging about with a Chelsea?

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@outsidewrite @yad_williams I'm really intrigued by stuff that happened in football just before I got into it so there's a decent chance I'll watch all of Euro '92 at some point, despite the direness 😆

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@outsidewrite @yad_williams I didn't get into football until a few months after Euro '92 so missed it first time around, although someone gave me a VHS with "highlights" of the Scotland games. Looked absolutely amazing, but then again I think everything did when I was 7 or 8!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@MT1903_ I can only point you in the direction of @hampdenroarpod !

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

@outsidewrite @yad_williams I watched every game of Euro 84 during lockdown (probably in an exclusive club). Been meaning to write something up about it ever since but never got round to it. The difference in entertainment between one group and the other was incredible!

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

There's nobody I'd trust more than this man to tell a cracking story about football (or most other things, for that matter).

[Roddy Cons @RoddyCons]

Feels quite mad that if Barcelona had won the two Clásicos (a big if, maybe, but they were ahead in both and lost right at the end), they would've won LaLiga.
